When it comes to options the purchaser will only be limited by the amount that was paid for the premium, therefore the risk will be regarded as limited. For futures trading, regardless of whether you buy or sell a futures agreement you will be responsible for more than only the preliminary margin that you were instructed to make for the investment. This makes this kind of trade risk limitless.
Expiration Dates
The main difference between trading
期指 期權 on futures and options would be the expiration date. In case you had been planning to exercise an option in order to control the underlying contract for futures, this must be delivered roughly 30 days prior to the underlying futures is arranged to be delivered. Note that this is applicable to the physical delivery of commodities and will not be the same for indices.
